    Is the Church leaving you?

    See; https://atoday.org/when-the-church-leaves-you/ NOTE: The author of this article is a devoted Adventist and a personal friend of mine. This article does not advocate that any one leave the SDA denomination. Rather, it points out that the SDA denomination seems on some levels to want to shrink the membership roles.

    Climate Change: Is It Real?

    The sun goes through cycles of greater sun storms/flares - and - fewer storms with less energy production. The cycles last aprox 30 years. The sun is just at the peak of the current warming, and should be starting to quiet down for next several years. We are currently at the peak of warm. One world global elite powers are using the global warming hysteria as a tool to centralize power. Also happening: Earthquakes are becoming more frequent. Which means more volcanic eruptions and more steam/smoke/matter erupted into the atmosphere. This will block sun energy and will have a cooling effect.

    Climate Change: Is It Real?

    How would that fly with the Muslims, who worship on Friday, and the Jews? I personally believe the "global warming" scare to be a scheme of the Evil One, for global redistribution of wealth - really a scheme for takeover of global markets and finance - a massive/gigantic power grab by global elites. I have seen articles showing that even if the USA reduced their carbon emissions to zero, it would have no impact whatsoever. Because China and India have no intention of reducing theirs. It would just destroy the USA economy - all for nothing! My own theory is that one day soon a glorious being "will sit in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is God". [Yes - I believe a third Temple will be built on the Mount at Jerusalem.] That being will fulfill messianic prophecies for every religion. And for the atheists, he will be a magnificent alien returned to save the planet. He will demand that "every nation, kindred, tongue and people" "worship Him". (To worship means to serve.) He will demand that everyone take his "mark" in order to buy or sell. This would involve a world digital banking system. Without the "right" number in your hand or forehead, persons will not be able to access digital "money" to buy or sell. Penalties for black market selling/buying will be severe. The 666 identifier refers to the number assigned to each individual for buying/selling made up of 18 digits (six digits - six digits - six digits). With such an identifier, the Beast Image/Counterfeit Messiah/Antichrist could identify every person on planet earth. The identifier number will probably be implanted somehow - as some version of a microchip. In order to receive "the mark", a person would have to swear allegiance to the messiah figure/little horn. Same thing is currently employed in Communist China, which "monitors" citizens for loyalty to the government agenda. The Chinese government has replaced the Ten Commandments in all Christian churches with the sayings of Chairman Mao. Any non-conformists are sent to re-education camps. I could certainly see something like THAT happening in the USA, if Chinese type Communism becomes the order of the day here. Enacting a Socialist agenda with wealth re-distribution, centralized government controlled health care, etc. etc. brings us one step closer.

    Buckle up, buttercups!

    You are really stretching it now. Perhaps Trumps comments were not the best, but they were not pedophilia. And you are so dedicated to your hatred of Trump you cannot even see those of the opposing party who actually have done acts against young girls. FWIW, I would much more prefer my daughter to work in the Trump Whitehouse than the Clinton Whitehouse. You may even consider the case of Joe Morrissey, who was elected to the Virginia State Senate as a senator. This reflects a serious problem with the population at large that a majority would put this person into a position of influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Morrissey I can't even begin to go into the case of J Epstein, partly because the whole story is still so not publicly known, but seems to have involved well known figures having relationships with underage girls. Funny thing is, Bill Clinton was known to take many trips to this mans place. Even Prince Andrew has been caught up in the scandal. The full list of those involved still remains a mystery, but at some point will possibly become public. The coroners determination of suicide is now being seriously questioned and is labeled by some as a homicide. This man's death now joins a list of some more than 70 individuals who have died under mysterious situations who also had some connection to the Clintons. But if you only follow CNN, you will only see their twisted reasons why Trump should be impeached. However, the idea behind the original post has been lost.

    This is my second recent post to be taken over by this trashing of the president and subsequently, the original idea was lost in the fracas. Also, historically, people who support this president have also been treated with disdain by the same poster. Truly sad.

    I find it sad that some people take every opportunity they can to trash our President. The topic title has nothing to do with politics. If people want to trash our president, start a president trashing topic; and don't hijack other topics to disrespect the man.

    Heshy and the Penguin named Cholent

    Old Heshy Himmelman was getting a little lonely living by himself after his wife passed away so he decided to buy himself a pet. Heshy was always a little different, and apparently so was his choice in pets. He got himself a penguin. He named him Cholent. Soon after he got Cholent the penguin, Heshy was driving in town one day with Cholent sitting on the front seat next to him. A policeman notices Cholent in the car and motions for Heshy to pull over. The officer says, "What are you doing with that penguin?" Heshy replies, "We are just going for an afternoon drive." The officer says, "I want you to take that penguin to the zoo right away, or you will be in big trouble." Heshy replies, "No problem, I can do that," and the policeman lets them go on their way. Two days later, Heshy and Cholent are going for a drive again with Cholent sitting in the front seat. This time the penguin has on dark sunglasses. When they pass through town, the same policeman spots Cholent in the car. He furiously motions for Heshy to pull over. As soon as the car stops, he marches right up to Heshy and demands, "You are the same guy I saw two days ago with a penguin. What are you trying to do now? Don't you think that I can still recognize a penguin even if it has sunglasses on? I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo right away?" Heshy replies, "Yes officer you did. I took him to the zoo yesterday. We had so much fun at the zoo that today I thought we would go to the beach today!"

    Zadie Willy’s Butcher Shop

    Zadie Willy Golberg took his grandkids on a trip to Israel. Before he retired, Zadie owned a kosher butcher called “Willy’s”, so on one of their stops in Israel, Zadie Willy wanted to show his grandkids an Israeli butcher shop. Zadie took 6 year-old Moishie to the back and pointed out some more unusual cuts of meat. He specifically pointed out the kidneys, as they weren’t available in the States because they were too hard to make kosher but some butchers in Israel had them. When they came out from the back, little Moishie ran up to his older siblings and said, “Guys you are never going to believe it! They sell kids knees back there!"

    Natural Born Citizen

    In little Rivky’s Strauss’ civics classes, they were debating the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. Rivky argued how unfair it was that there was a requirement to be a natural born citizen. Rivky’s opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. Rivky’s teacher was just taking it in and letting her rant, but the teacher’s jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

    Climate Change: Is It Real?

    IMHO, yes on climate change as the vehicle for globalization; and no for a worldwide (or even national) Sunday law. Anti-Christianity is on the increase. Organized Christianity is on the wane. The new world religion will be a form of poly theism. As the New Agers say "All paths lead to God". If we as Christians believe differently, we will be declared inferior.

    Climate Change: Is It Real?

    Video was great. Couldn't disagree with anything he said. Connected the dots expertly. One other "cause" of disasters - "the prince and power of the air (atmosphere)". The Evil One almost totally controls the institutions of learning, and the media. The one language of mankind before Babel, has almost been restored through universal computer "language". We cannot have far to go, until Jesus will return! I expect that one day soon, the message of truth will be banned from the internet. Only one thing remains: "And when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished." Daniel 12:7 The "power" of God's people is that power which was bestowed at Pentecost - the power to witness. Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." When the last witness is imprisoned or dead, (or sent to a re-education camp) THAT's when it's over.

    The women participating in the Miss Universe pageant were not PREpubescent. The context of Trumps comments, was the contest - comparing his daughter to other contestants. That being said, I agree that parading young women in scant costumes as objects to be desired/admired for their "beauty" (by Western standards), is definitely not something inspired of Heaven. There are several passages in the Scriptures that reference the "beauty" of specific women. They do not however, reference their body proportions.

    Objects in the Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear

    I never said that Kevin sinned, I said the word hell is a lie. That is a sin and we all should know it by now. All of us have sin including me! Things we say ignorantly does not mean you knew about them. Many keep Christmas which is a lie and if I do not say anything about it and I know it, then I am the sinner? I know it is a lie! What I am standing for is the principle of truth. I am not condemning him about hell. I was telling him the word was wrong to use because no one is going to hell; unless it is understood it is the grave and not a fiery pit! I do condemn those who always condemn others and are doing sinful things themselves. I don't know if Kevin knows about the word hell, but I do. Should I not tell him? I told him and it is up to him and whoever reads what I said to check it out for themselves. I apologized for what you felt that I insulted Kevin. But, I am not going to apologized to tell him that the word he used call hell is a lie; or the word ghost or any other we used that is a lie. I should acknowledge it. I stood and told Kevin that the only problem in the comment was the word hell. I also explain that it is a lie and defeated his purpose. But I never called Kevin a sinner. If you felt that way or thought I did also Kevin then please forgive! Blessings!

    Trivia

    6 Things You Might Not Know Were Invented by Women On November 10, 1903, Mary Anderson patented her invention of the windshield wiper. Cadillac was the first to include them in every car model, and other companies soon followed. Find out about some other surprising inventions that were designed and patented by women... Carpenters Can Thank a Woman for Inventing the Circular Saw In 1812, Tabitha Babbitt, a weaver who lived in a Shaker community, noticed how difficult it was for people to use a pit saw, which needed two individuals to operate and cut only in a single direction. She solved that problem by attaching a circular blade to a spinning wheel. The circular saw proved to be a more efficient way to perform the task and led many men in later years to create home workshops in their garages. A Woman Invented the Life Rafts Used on the Titanic Inventor Maria Beasley was already a wealthy woman because of her eight patents for the barrel-hooping machine (an invention that made it easier to place the metal bands on barrels). In 1882, she patented a design for a foldable life raft with fireproof guardrails. The life rafts invented by Beasley were used onboard the luxury liner Titanic and are credited with saving more than 700 lives when the ship sank in the North Atlantic in 1912. The Dishwasher Was Invented by a Woman Patented in 1886, the first dishwasher combined high water pressure, a wheel, a boiler, and a wire rack like the ones still used for dish drying. Inventor Josephine Cochrane never used it herself, but it made life easier for her servants. This invention is still a lifesaver for many households today. A Movie Star Invented Wireless Transmission Technology Movie siren Hedy Lamarr was not only beautiful but brainy. She created a communication system in 1941 to guide torpedoes without detection. Her design manipulated the radio frequencies to operate at irregular intervals so that classified messages could be sent in an unbreakable code and could not be intercepted by the enemy during World War II. Her groundbreaking technology in wireless transmission led the way for other inventions, including Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS. Rocket Fuel Invented by a Woman Powered Explorer I Mary Sherman Morgan was instrumental in saving the space program in America in 1957 when she invented Hydyne rocket fuel. Her contribution to the space program allowed the launch of the Jupiter 6 rocket, which was used to boost Explorer 1, America’s first satellite. This brilliant mathematician and chemist designed her own fuel cocktail, which was exactly what was necessary to operate Werner von Braun’s rockets. Without her invention, it may have been necessary to redesign the rockets entirely. The Board Game Monopoly Was Invented by Elizabeth Magie One of the most famous board games of all time was invented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904 under the original name The Landlord's Game. Magie's game was a critique of the injustices of unchecked capitalism, making it all the more ironic when her game was completely ripped off by Charles Darrow 30 years later, who sold it to Parker Brothers. The firm eventually tracked down Magie and paid her $500 for her troubles.

    Why did Jesus compare Himself to a snake? 

    Jesus also became sin for us; hence the serpent representation. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Cor. 5:21)

    Why did Jesus compare Himself to a snake? 

    Greetings Jeff W, While not endorsing all that is said in the video, another perspective is that the word Seraphim in Isaiah 6 seems to be related to the word used for fiery serpents. This could also be a link to John 3:14-15, and also to John 12:32 and John 12 has other links to Isaiah 6, for example John 12:40-41. I understand the brasen serpent to represent the flesh, but uniquely connected with Jesus he is the same human flesh as descended from Adam, but with Jesus he never sinned. Nevertheless, even though he never sinned, and his flesh was purified by fire, as with the altar of burnt offering, Jesus was teaching by his voluntary death, the need to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts. Kind regards Trevor
